Being accused of a crime doesn't make you guilty. But try telling that to the police, the prosecutors, or anyone who's already made up their mind about you. When you're staring down criminal charges, you need someone who actually believes you and knows how to prove it in court. That's where we come in.
We're San Bernardino's trusted criminal defense lawyer with nearly 20 years of experience fighting for people who deserve a fair shot. At SoCal Criminal Defense Lawyer, we handle everything from DUI arrests to homicide cases. We've been doing this long enough to know that good people end up in bad situations all the time. Our job is getting you out of them.
Most lawyers will tell you what you want to hear. We tell you the truth about your case and what we can actually do about it. Our founding attorney, Tammy Higgins, has tried over 100 cases in front of juries at SoCal Criminal Defense Lawyer. She was a public defender for 16 years before opening her own practice, which means she knows exactly how the other side thinks.
We've gotten murder convictions overturned. We've walked clients out who were facing life sentences. We've beaten federal charges and won cases that other lawyers said were impossible. That's not bragging—that's just what happens when you know these courts and refuse to back down.
Drug possession. Assault and battery. Domestic violence accusations. DUI and DWI. White-collar fraud. Gun charges. Homicide defense. We handle it all, and we handle it well. We also do post-conviction work if you're already serving time and need help with resentencing or appeals.
Got issues with the Racial Justice Act? We've successfully reopened multiple cases under those violations. Whatever you're dealing with, we've defended someone in your exact situation before.
We don't just show up and hope for the best. We tear into every piece of evidence the prosecution has. We find the holes, the mistakes, and the rights violations. We talk to witnesses, hire experts when we need them, and build a defense that actually works.
Sometimes that means negotiating a deal that keeps you out of jail. Other times it means going to trial and making the prosecution prove every single thing they're claiming. We're ready for either one.
Legal emergencies don't happen during business hours. That's why we're reachable 24/7. You call, we answer. We've got offices throughout San Bernardino County, Orange County, and LA County. We keep you updated on everything happening with your case—no surprises, no confusion. Just straight answers and real representation.
